That's awesome!:tu:

What happened to NASCAR style number and release?

$500 fine recently in Frisco for trapping critters without a license. No penalty for shooting them on your property. Kind of a Castle Amendment for critters so to speak. :cool:

Dennis, pretty cool.. what is the pellet velocity on that thing?

Nothing like my Gamo Varmint rifle (1250 fps), but 450 fps isn't bad for a CO2 pistol. :cool:

We have a Gamo Whisper.. the wife took out over 30 chipmunks in the backyard in Erie.. she didnt like them tearing up the yard.. so she thinned out the herd a bit..

Will a .177 at 450 FPS penetrate a 'dillo's armor?

[L8 APEX]

I shot a dillo 6 times with my 22 Ruger single six when I was a kid. All 6 rds skipped off the shell at an angle. The 357 bored its way through though.

Probably requires a head shot which shouldn't be that difficult up close. :cool:

Close encounter with an armadillo at 5AM. Light and sight work nicely, but not enough power to seriously do damage IMO. After being hit at about 10 paces from a head-on position, the critter jumped about two feet in the air and traveled across the lot to the woods. No blood trail (like a .177 pellet will leave one anyway), but a very light projectile at 450 FPS just won't cut it. Can't say for sure that he wasn't hurt, but I have nothing to show.

Probably won't survive the trauma caused during his next visit. :cool:

Well sadly my >90 year old neighbor the pellet king for killing all the local varmints died this week.:icon_sad:
Almost everyday you could hear him shooting pellets, protecting his garden.
So I may have to take over the responsibility for the neighborhood. Is this something you do when you get old?;)

Donnie sent me a 22 cal Gamo Whisper for a house warming gift. We'll see how it works on our feline infestation:tu:.

Here is a good video on ammo. I chose the 22 for the extra oomph.:evil

.177 at 450 FPS :nono: not enough for an armored critter. And head shots in the dark on a moving target are tough. Methinks more power :tu:. Who was it, Robert Ruark, African PH, who said "Use enough gun!"

I think so- my Dad is 70 something and just bought a refurbished Benjamin 22 cal pellet gun to shoot squirrels in his back yard.

yes among many other things.. neighborhood watchdog.. I knew one guy that kept the plant life growth under control on the pond that my grandparents lived on..

Well since I have a 30 foot pecan tree in my backyard, I have lots of those targets and probably more now that my neighbor is gone.:icon_sad:
They run along a brick edge about 4 ft off the ground on the side of the garage, almost like a carnival shooting game.
